poorly constructed non-user friendly and generally more hassle than it's worth
Most people are going to buy this for the fingernail profile tool since those of us with the expendable income to purchase an item like this are probably turning bowls. (As opposed to "real" stuff like table legs.) A correctly ground fingernail profile like the espresso "god shot" is definitely a hit or miss endeavor that may cause premature hair loss. BUT a jig will make it easy right? Not so fast. First of all the knobs that hold the jig fixtures in place will hit your grinder when you adjust them unless you put about 6 inches of wood underneath your grinder first. After doing so the regular grinding platform fixture is too far away from the wheel to be of any use. But hey you can still use the fingernail jig right? Yea well mine was so poorly put together that it held my gouges at a slanted angle producing a slanted fingernail grind. Hard to explain but fwiw I purchased the wolverine fixture and it works perfectly. So that's why it gets two stars. You can use the wolverine fingernail fixture with it. So it's not a complete waste I guess.More detail ...
